Regular Pay. Regular pay (e.g., regular base pay, overtime, shift differential pay, commissions, bonuses and other similar compensation) shall be included if # it is paid not later than the end of the limitation year that includes the severance from employment date or, if later, two and one‑half (2‑1/2) months after the severance from employment date, and # it would have been paid if there had been no severance from employment.

Severance Pay. The Company shall pay Executive cash severance in the amount of Nine Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($950,000.00), which is equal to: # the sum of # Executive’s 2019 annual base salary plus # Executive’s 2019 target annual incentive compensation (collectively, the “Cash Severance”). The Cash Severance shall be paid out in substantially equal installments in accordance with the Company’s regular payroll practices over a 12-month period commencing within 60 days after the Termination Date; provided, that if the 60-day period begins in one calendar year and ends in a second calendar year, then the Cash Severance shall begin to be paid in the second calendar year by the last day of such 60-day period; provided further, that the initial payment shall include a catch-up payment to cover amounts retroactive to the day immediately following the date of termination.

Full Time Best Efforts. For so long as you are employed hereunder, you will devote substantially all of your business time and energies to the business and affairs of the Company, and shall at all times faithfully, industriously and to the best of your ability, experience and talent, perform all of your duties and responsibilities hereunder. In furtherance of, and not in limitation of the foregoing, during the term of this Agreement, you further agree that you shall not render commercial or professional services of any nature, including as a founder, advisor, or a member of a board of directors, to any person or organization, whether or not for compensation, if such services would materially interfere with your duties under this Agreement, without the prior approval of the Chief Executive Officer in his sole discretion; provided, however, that nothing contained in this Section 1(c) will be deemed to prevent or limit your right to # manage your personal investments on your own personal time or # participate in religious, charitable or civic organizations in any capacity on your own personal time. As set forth above, your employment with the Company is “at-will,” and, accordingly, either you or the Company may terminate your employment at any time, with or without cause, for any reason or no reason.

Reasonable Best Efforts; Cooperation. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, each of the parties agrees to use reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions, and to do, or cause to be done, and to assist and cooperate with the other parties in doing, all things necessary, proper or advisable to consummate and make effective the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, to carry out the intent and purposes of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and to obtain satisfaction or waiver of the conditions precedent to the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, including # obtaining all of the necessary consents, authorizations and approvals from Governmental Authorities and other third parties and the making of all filings and the taking of all steps as may be necessary to obtain consents, authorizations and approvals from, or to avoid any Proceeding by, any Governmental Authority and # the execution and delivery of any additional documents, instruments, certificates, agreements and other writings necessary to consummate the transactions contemplated by, and to fully carry out the purposes of, this Agreement.

Employee agrees that Employee will at all times faithfully, industriously and to the best of Employee's ability, experience and talents perform all the duties that may be required of Employee pursuant to the terms hereof, to the reasonable satisfaction of Employer, commensurate with Employee's position. Such duties shall be rendered at such place as specified herein and Employee acknowledges that Employee may be required to travel as shall reasonably be required to promote the business of Employer. To the extent reasonably required by the duties assigned to Employee, Employee shall devote substantially all Employee's time, attention, knowledge and skills to the business and interest of Employer and Employer shall be entitled to all the benefits, profits and other issue arising from or incident to all work, service and advice of Employee; provided, however, that Employee shall be permitted to devote a reasonable amount of time to charitable, religious or service organizations. During the Term, unless approved by the Chief Executive Officer of the Employer, Employee shall not be interested, directly or indirectly, in any manner as partner, manager, officer, director, shareholder, member, adviser, consultant, employee or in any other capacity in any other business; provided, that nothing herein contained shall be deemed to prevent or limit the right of Employee to beneficially own less than 5% of the stock of a corporation traded on a national securities exchange as long as such passive investment does not interfere with or conflict with the performance of services to be rendered hereunder.

Exclusivity and Best Efforts. During Executive’s employment with the Company, Executive shall # in all respects conform to and comply with the lawful directions and instructions given to Executive by the Company; # devote Executive’s entire business time, energy and skill to Executive’s services under this Agreement; # use Executive’s best efforts to promote and serve the interests of the Company and to perform Executive’s duties and obligations hereunder in a diligent, trustworthy, businesslike, efficient and lawful manner; # comply with all applicable laws and regulations, as well as the policies and practices established by the Company from time to time and made applicable to its employees generally or senior executives; # not engage in any other business, profession or occupation for compensation or otherwise; and # not engage in any activity that, directly or indirectly, impairs or conflicts with the performance of Executive’s obligations and duties to the Company, provided, however, that the foregoing shall not prevent Executive from managing Executive’s personal affairs and passive personal investments and participating in charitable, civic, educational, professional or community affairs, so long as, in the aggregate, any such activities do not unreasonably interfere or conflict with Executive’s duties hereunder or create a potential business or fiduciary conflict with the Company, as reasonably determined by the Company.

Best After-Tax Result. In the event that any payment or benefit received or to be received by Executive pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise (the “Payments”) would # constitute a “parachute payment” within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code and # but for this [subsection (a)], be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code, any successor provisions, or any comparable federal, state, local or foreign excise tax (the “Excise Tax”), then, subject to the provisions of Section 10, such Payments shall be either # provided in full pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or any other applicable agreement, or # provided as to such lesser extent which would result in the Payments being $1.00 less than the amount at which any portion of the Payments would be subject to the Excise Tax (the “Reduced Amount”), whichever of the foregoing amounts, taking into account the applicable federal, state, local and foreign income, employment and other taxes and the Excise Tax (including, without limitation, any interest or penalties on such taxes), results in the receipt by Executive, on an after-tax basis, of the greatest amount of payments and benefits provided for hereunder or otherwise, notwithstanding that all or some portion of such Payments may be subject to the Excise Tax. Unless the Company and Executive otherwise agree in writing, any determination required under this Section shall be made by independent tax counsel designated by the Company and reasonably acceptable to Executive (the “Independent Tax Counsel”), whose determination shall be conclusive and binding upon Executive and the Company for all purposes. For purposes of making the calculations required under this Section, Independent Tax Counsel may make reasonable assumptions and approximations concerning applicable taxes and may rely on reasonable, good faith interpretations concerning the application of [Sections 280G and 4999]9] of the Code; provided that Independent Tax Counsel shall assume that Executive pays all taxes at the highest marginal rate. The Company and Executive shall furnish to Independent Tax Counsel such information and documents as Independent Tax Counsel may reasonably request in order to make a determination under this Section. The Company shall bear all costs that Independent Tax Counsel may reasonably incur in connection with any calculations contemplated by this Section. In the event that [Section 9(a)(ii)(B)] above applies, then based on the information provided to Executive and the Company by Independent Tax Counsel, Executive may, in Executive’s sole discretion and within thirty (30) days of the date on which Executive is provided with the information prepared by Independent Tax Counsel, determine which and how much of the Payments (including the accelerated vesting of equity compensation awards) to be otherwise received by Executive shall be eliminated or reduced (as long as after such determination the value (as calculated by Independent Tax Counsel in accordance with the provisions of [Sections 280G and 4999]9] of the Code) of the amounts payable or distributable to Executive equals the Reduced Amount). If the Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”) determines that any Payment is subject to the Excise Tax, then Section 9(b) hereof shall apply, and the enforcement of Section 9(b) shall be the exclusive remedy to the Company.

Best-After-Tax Cutback. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Policy to the contrary, if any payment or benefit received or to be received by a Participant, whether pursuant to the terms of this Policy or any other plan, arrangement or agreement (all such payments and benefits being hereinafter referred to as the “Total Payments”), would be subject (in whole or part), to the excise tax imposed under Section 4999 of the Code (the “Excise Tax”), then, after taking into account any reduction in the Total Payments provided by reason of Section 280G of the Code in such other plan, arrangement or agreement, the Total Payments shall be reduced, as set forth herein, to the extent necessary such that no portion of the Total Payments is subject to the Excise Tax, but only if the net amount of such Total Payments, as so reduced (and after subtracting the net amount of federal, state and local income taxes on such reduced Total Payments), is greater than the net amount of such Total Payments without such reduction (but after subtracting the net amount of federal, state and local income taxes on such Total Payments and the amount of Excise Tax to which the Participant would be subject in respect of such unreduced Total Payments). The Total Payments shall be reduced by the Company or the Committee in its reasonable discretion. No such reduction shall apply to any such payment or benefit that constitutes “nonqualified deferred compensation” (within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code) to the extent that such reduction would result in any prohibited acceleration or additional tax under Section 409A of the Code.

Promise to Pay. Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to pay each Lender, the outstanding principal amount of all Term Loans advanced to Borrower by such Lender and accrued and unpaid interest thereon and any other amounts due hereunder as and when due in accordance with this Agreement.
